U.S. Trade Representative Requests Public Comments on USMCA
NAM and ECIA Collaboration
Earlier this month, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative published an official request for public comment on the U.S.–Mexico–Canda Agreement. The notice is part of the process for the schedule six-year review of the landmark agreement signed in 2019. The deadline for comments is November 3, 2025.
ECIA coordinates closely with the National Association of Manufacturers (“NAM”) on many policy issues. NAM is encouraging its members and members of its coalition of sister associations to focus comments on the USMCA on four broad topics:
- Technical fixes to make the USMCA function better
- Bilateral (non-tariff) issues in Mexico or Canada that the review could help address
- New mechanisms or tools that could be built to counter shared challenges in third markets, particularly nonmarket economies
- Sector-specific agreements or commitments that could be pursued to strengthen North American manufacturing
If you have any questions about submitting comments in response to the USTR’s request, please contact David Loftus ([email protected]) and Ryan Riesterer ([email protected]).
